Buy on Supwell appI’m not entirely sure which side of the forum to post this in but I am just getting started and I need help finding which shoe is going to be truly my best option for my build and needs. I am 6’1” and 225LBS now the sad part is I thought I did enough research to buy ones that would work for me and I’ve already spent over $300 on shoes (Invincible 3’s and 1080 V13’s) and while the invincible 3’s have incredible cushion, the upper is a little to narrow for my foot causing the outer sides of my foot to ache terribly as well as the heel slip which I didn’t think would be near as bad as what it actually ending up being (even with a runners knot). And the 1080’s while super comfortable, I’ve noticed the balls of my feet tend to ache quite bad as soon as I hit my second mile or so. Now this is my first week actually running, I am coming from being a true couch potato after work to getting up at 5am and doing 5K’s before work; so I know potentially my running form could be an additional problem to foot discomfort but I tend to keep my form and pace top priority so I’m thinking it just has to be that I’m not making the right choices ride wise. Any help is greatly appreciated and I am excited to be a part of this awesome community!
